Hey, cool!  I guess I better buy one of those cards, since I hear they're
only about $150 now!

For the record, somebody wrote a bt848 driver for BeOS, and there's a demo
of the new 3DKit which allows you to drop live video and/or QuickTime
movies onto the faces of a 3D object (cube, sphere, pulsing thing, book
pages), and spin it around in realtime.  It looks _real_ sweet playing
about 6 QT movies simultaneously on a PowerMac 8500, all texture-mapped
onto various 3D objects, but a live video feed is even cooler.  Man, I'd
love to have the source code to that! 

Anyway, I guess I need to buy two of those cards, one for my PC, and the
other for the BeBox.  :)
